Common questions
What is the Pono BN4-1 made of?
The top is solid cedar and the back and sides are solid acacia. The neck is mahogany, and the fretboard, bridge and headstock are ebony.
What is lattice bracing?
Lattice bracing is a crisscross pattern inspired by classical guitar building. It allows a thinner, more responsive soundboard for more volume, resonance and sustain.
What tuning and strings does it use?
It is tuned D-G-B-E with wound D and G strings, and it uses Aquila Nylgut strings.
How is a Baritone Nui different from a standard baritone?
A Baritone Nui is a larger body with a 23 inch scale length and a 35.5 inch overall length, so it is longer than a standard baritone ukulele.
Does the Pono BN4-1 come with a case or gig bag?
Yes. The Pono BN4-1 comes with a Pono BN Deluxe Gig Bag.
Who is the Pono BN4-1 for?
The Pono BN4-1 suits guitar players moving to ukulele and anyone who wants a deeper ukulele voice, since it is tuned like the top four strings of a guitar. Its solid cedar top and solid acacia back and sides give a warm and rich sound that grows richer with playing.
